Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

a_baron This had the makings of a brilliant film, unfortunately it is failed by a resolution that is no resolution at all. Mr and Mrs City Slick decide to relocate to a remote area of Scotland, well, she does. The property they buy has a history, and the viewer is led to believe there may be a supernatural connection. When it materialises, very soon, the menace turns out to be terrestrial in the extreme.The countryside is not a quiet place, even if no one is around, and on their first night there alone, without electricity thanks to a mishap by her, she hears noises, first outside the house, which turns out to be a pig, then by what appears to be a noise from within. By this time he has had enough, being thoroughly exhausted after a day of heavy DIY, and more than a little nookie, but he goes to investigate, reluctantly, and does not return. Then we see another pig, one on two legs. Actually there are several of them, invaders wearing pig masks. What do they want? It isn't what they want so much, as what they have to offer, a night of sheer terror. Alas, as stated, there is no proper resolution, and the ending is very weak, though nowhere near as tragic as it could have been.

ggregd The movie is a straightforward, unimaginative but slightly suspenseful home invasions thriller. I was wondering why the bad guys were doing what they were doing (I knew nothing about the movie going in, not even the tag line). Wondering right up to the ridiculous ending. I was left wondering how the perpetrators in this story thought they would ever in a million years get away with it. Once the police find the guy with the sliced up face or the one who's face was bashed in they're all done for.

fairlesssam It's Sarah and Ed's first night in their new home in the Scottish countryside. Coming from the City they had a lot of money to invest in a property that the people from the surrounding area could not afford themselves. It's a beautiful setting and the movie portrays an air of the supernatural but that's a red herring. It's actually a home invasion type movie.The two main characters are absolutely awful from the start. Sarah is the most irritating character I think I have ever come across! The relationship between Sarah and Ed doesn't feel believable at all, there's no chemistry, no closeness that you would expect to see in a couple moving into a new home. Sarah is a nagging, selfish and irritating woman, if I was Ed I would have let her move to Scotland by herself.As they go to bed on their first night Sarah is unnerved and hears noises. She pesters poor Ed to death and ends up outside where they find a random pig. After going back in the house Sarah hears yet more noises and again nags Ed to death to go investigate. The poor man does and doesn't come back. So then she goes looking for him.What follows is one of the most intense cat and mouse games ever. It's such as shame that the two main characters are so badly written because the baddies and the stalking going on is/are brilliant. I couldn't bear to watch half the time.I liked the ending, you couldn't have predicted it.
